Abstract: |
In March 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land off Thriplow Road, Fowlmere, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4258 4612; Figs. 1-2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of ten residential dwellings. The site is located at the north eastern edge of the village of Fowlmere, Cambridgeshire. The site is part of a large triangular field that is currently used as pasture. Fowlmere has its origins in the medieval period. Its location on the London to King's Lynn Road was of considerable importance during the height of the 17th century wool trade. Sites and artefacts (pottery and flints) of prehistoric origin are known from several sites in the general vicinity, as are sites of the Roman and Anglo Saxon periods. Crop marks representing archaeology of unknown date are present to the immediate north and east of the site. The trial trenching revealed a pair of parallel undated ditches orientated approximately east/west across the northern end of the site, approximately 12m south of the current field boundary. |
